Tapped

Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right, or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any other article of commerce? Stephanie Soechtig examines the big business of bottled water. Viewers get a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never to become a commodity: our water. Here is a powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry.

The impact bottled water has on your health, the health of citizens where the bottles are manufactured, the impact on the water supplies in the small communities where Coke, Pepsi and Nestle (who own almost all the the brands) strategically set up, and how the FDA employees have been gagged from helping protect public health.

A nice documentary that takes you through all the stages of bottled water. This movie kept my attention - whether it is the corporation that keeps bottling during drought, the waste that results from the use of bottled water; the analysis of the water within the bottles themselves; or, the effects of the petrochemical plants on their neighbours.
